LUCKY DAY

A few weeks ago I bought an Albertson's gift card with $300 loaded on it.  I only did this because with that purchase they gave me a free gift card with $30 on it.  -cool-  I couldn't pass up a good deal as that's the kind of gal I am.  Well, last night I went in to grab something and as I was paying I could NOT find the $300 card which I had just used to buy Darin's Avatar DVD Thursday.  I knew there was $283 left.  WHERE WAS IT?  I searched everywhere last night - the car, in pants and jackets, purse, whole house.  I called Albertson's and they told me that they'd never had to deal with something like this and there was probably no way to track a card and reissue one.  I was worried sick!  Out almost $300 just for a "good deal"?!!  So this morning I called Albertson's to see if anyone had turned one in as I hadn't actually asked THAT last night.  The gal replied, "Oh, yeah, there is one right here. Can you tell me the ending balance on your last receipt.  I found it in the trash bag inside my car and told her the amount.  "Yes!  $283.11.  We do have it!"  I felt such a thrill after I hung up and SO lucky!  I felt like Heavenly Father answered my prayer last night and He cares even about the small things.  Today is looking up!

I debated back and forth about getting one of those figuring I would spend that much eventually over the year, however I completely forgot about it by the time I had to get it. Next year. LUCKY! I would have absolutely gone crazy losing that much money essentially. What an honest person for turning that in. Wow!
BTW: our two little guys desperately need to get together. does Carson ride a bike yet?
